jonathanmark-77048 Plot: When small-time criminal Casey and local detective Madeline get caught in a cross-fire between dirty F.B.I. agents and their drug cartel friends because of a very important computer disk that Casey was delivering, all hell breaks out. Its hard to tell the bad guys from the good guys.This is a certain kind of movie that is filled with high octane action and a very simple story. Michael Biehn as always does a great job playing Casey along with Lellani Saurelle playing Madeline. The rest of the cast does a decent job except for the late Ed Lauter who I usually like having a strange accent for most of the time. The plot is basic and straight to the point. The action is pretty well done for the most part, the only problem at times is the lighting of the scenes which makes it hard to see what is going on.I'd say give this a watch if you have time to kill and just want to watch a simple action film that's not overly complicated.
Comeuppance Reviews Casey (Biehn) is a low-level courier for a criminal enterprise led by Carlo Sanchez (Sandoval). Casey comes into possession of "The Disk", a CD-ROM (presumably, because this was the 90's) that has information leading to 40 million dollars' worth of criminal earnings. When undercover cop Madeline (Sarelle) becomes involved because some corrupt government agents are on the take and also want The Disk, soon Casey and Madeline are on the run from many bad guys who are after them because they want "The Disk" as well. Not the least of which is scary executioner Bracco (Kulich, last seen in Crackerjack, 1995 and Red Scorpion 2, 1994). The BIG boss of it all is Kreuger (Lauter). Will Casey and Madeline ride off into the sunset together - or is there just too much shooting? While the first part of this movie gets off to a weird start, the many character actors involved throughout the film make you forget about the odd pace (which eventually becomes more normal). We've seen many, many movies where "The Disk" is something both the good guys and the bad guys want, and here is no exception. A lot of the scenes are dark, just like the other Biehn vehicle American Dragons (1998). It must be in his contract that his movies use less lights.Speaking of Biehn, here he's more animated than usual and really turns on the charm. Ed Lauter should have been in more of the movie, his is basically a bit part. His accent is suitably menacing, however. The similarities to Crackerjack continue...and yes, there is some classic 90's computer gobbledygook on show as well.While they really went crazy with the scenes of mindless gun-shooting, perhaps the movie could have been trimmed a bit. It may seem like quibbling, but Breach of Trust probably didn't HAVE to be 96 minutes. It should have been 90 or less. Demanding more than that of audiences for this type of fare is kind of pushing it. But the presences of Biehn, Sandoval, Kulich, and Lauter, not to mention further fan-favorite familiar faces such as Matt Craven and Kim Coates certainly soften the blow. We weren't overly familiar with Sarelle but she does a good job as the tough cop but who also can't resist the overpowering winning smile of Casey.Shot in Vancouver, B.C. Canada, Breach of Trust isn't mind-blowingly different (and something happens at the end which is...odd) but it provides decent entertainment.For more action insanity, please visit: www.comeuppancereviews.com
Jennytime This movie might have been better if the plot had made more sense. A major plot point was not explained until the movie was half over, making it hard to understand what the characters' motivations were. There is nothing to draw the viewer into the story. There were some good scenes, but they needed a better plot to tie them together.
tarlan Casey is a small time crook who's having trouble getting paid so takes matters into his own hands. The result is a fast paced, action-orientated film with the exceptionally talented but highly underated Michael Biehn playing Casey.It's not all action though. There are some wonderfully humorous scenes as the two leads try to ditch each other at first.Some of the other acting is not quite up to scratch but there is plenty onscreen to make up for that including a sizzling scene between the two leads.Well worth renting out for some Saturday night entertainment.
